At Aspilos Foundation, everything we do can be summarised into this: we school, stimulate and shape. With over 40% of the African population between the ages of 15 and 24 and half the population of Sub Saharan Africa being below 18, we recognise that young people are a large part of Nigeria and Africa and are very crucial to the development of the country and continent. To support our belief, we train and we advocate in a bid to see the young people of Africa excelling at and getting maximum yield from their occupations and being active citizens that participate in affairs that affect the growth and development of their country and the continent. We are therefore committed to developing young people especially young women so that they are innovative, ethical, dynamic and responsible. We are committed to seeing that Africa, the youngest continent is at par with other continents in terms of development. We are committed to harnessing the potential of young people for societal development.
